This week, challenging work at the IMA, an impressive operatic collaboration, and laugh-out-loud silliness. Stunningly beautiful and infuriatingly smug, isolating and compelling, baffling and smart, ‘Rape of the Sabine Women” is, in theory, the anchoring work of the Indianapolis Museum of Art’s current “Adaptation” show. I say “in theory” because, unless you plan carefully and […]
